Try saying something intelligent instead.

i hate when these losers pull out card tricks and make me watch them all, boring as hell

I know how to shuffle

Anybody got a got link to a page with some easy NON card tricks? Like, with matches, coins and stuff?

The chances of getting anywhere with a girl with a card trick is about the same as getting anywhere showing her the module you're writing for D & D.

I do like the commercials tell me and impress fellow party-goers with my choice of booze.

Effect: The magician picks out two cards. He has a spectator cut the deck. He flips over the cards that he picked, then he flips over two cards of the deck that was cut. The cards match.

1. Shuffle the deck so the specator doesn't think you've rigged it.


2.) Tell them you will pick two cards. Go through the deck making sure you look at the bottom and the top cards of the deck.

3.) Pick out a card that matches the bottom card. (If the bottom card is a Four of Hearts, you would pick out the Four of Diamonds to match it.) Then pick out a card that is the same as the top card.

4.) Ask the spectator to cut the deck.

5.) Take the first card, the one on top of the original top of the deck, and flip it over.

6.) Flip the bottom half of the deck over completely.

7.) Flip over the cards you picked. They all match!
Ok first one, and i am already lost!!!!!

Who is going to fall for this?

STOOPID!

I couldn't even understand the directions.
guess I'll never impress the chicks.
I know I'll show her my comic book collection, yeah thats the ticket.

The White Widow makes me the life of the party, EVERY TIME !!!
All you Chicago FARKers/FARKettes can sing its praises after the Chicago FARK bash.

If you're at a party where this crap is considered entertaining, then chances are Twister®, charades and fondue are also involved. Maybe later, you can break out your 45s and make prank phone calls.

Oh, and if you need card tricks to impress the ladies, then the 'pork chops and applesauce' ain't gonna help either...

I try not to impress people, they look silly following you around like a bunch of ducklings going 'momma, momma'.

screw card tricks...i just whip out my dong to impress girls at parties

Midgettossa :
"screw card tricks...i just whip out my dong to impress girls at parties"

Yeah but by the look at your picture profile it looks like you Fark the change slot of a Coke machine, so it doesn't seem like it would be all that "big" to whip around ......

A few barroom tricks:

Lay a dollar on the bar. Balance a beer bottle (empty) neck down on the bill. Bet people they can't get the dollar out without touching the bottle with their hands and without knocking it over. Anyone who doesn't know the trick will try the old tablecloth yanking move. Doesn't work. What you do is roll the dollar up against the bottle and then slowly continue rolling against the bottle. It slides off without falling over.

Suck an egg into a bottle. Bet you can get a hardboiled egg into an empty beer bottle (one without backwash) more or less in one piece. Take a a small piece of paper, stuff it loosely into the neck, light it with a match and shove both the match and burning paper into the bottle and quickly set the boiled egg on the neck. The burning creates a vacuum which will suck the egg in. (What? You don't drink in bars that have pickled eggs in a jar on the bartop? Sheesh...)

A cheap shot. Get someone to buy an expensive shot of something. Doesn't matter what, as long as it's a few $ more than your bet of $1. Bet them $1 you can drink it without touching the shotglass. Pick it up, drink it. Hand them a $1 and say "I lose" and walk away. Be prepared to really piss someone off...

Why does this always come around to impressing chicks? Somebody's got a one-track mind...

Stage magic is fun. End of story.

Brought to you by the good folks @ Penn & Teller.

Good trick to do at parties. Make yourself invisible: Break out a deck of cards and shuffle them. Ask the person closest to you to "pick a card, any card." From then on, everyone else at the party will act like you're not there.

"Pick a card, any card, especially this card."

Performing magic tricks is good for kids.
It exercises the analytical mind, works one past stage fright and teaches one to prepare and practice for presentations.

Why is it that lately, the majority of messages posted in the Fark comments threads seem to originate from all the cynical, negative, teenage-angst-ridden posters who have virtually nothing good to say about anything? Seriously! Whining, biatching, moaning about how everything here sucks, how simple enjoyable card tricks are only for "losers", etc. I'll bet you're the guy yelling out "It's hidden up his sleeve!!" at a Vegas magic show. (It's not just this thread, it's ALL of them...) Is it Sept. 11th that's done this? Is it some kind of feeling-superior-when-I-put-stuff-down thing?

I dunno... I'm 40. Maybe it's just an age thing & I'm too old to understand. A serious question to those posting all the negative comments: Are these postings truely indicative of your outlook on everything, or is it just because it seems to be the "in" thing lately here at Fark? Please understand, I'm not putting anyone down or purposely inviting flames (which I'm sure I'll get anyway). I'm genuinely curious as to the cause. Or maybe I'm simply misunderstanding the comments. Can anyone enlighten me?

Dodger,
Get back in your nursing home RIGHT NOW !!!
Don't give me no sass otherwise I'll tell pill lady to cut you off !


I'm 37 and am VERY cynical. I have no wife, kids, or pressing responsibilities.
Sex & Drugs & Rock n Roll & FARK are my life right now.
All I really want at this moment.

SS: You just watch your P's and Q's you young whippersnapper, or I'll be on the 4:30 auto-gyro from Siam quick as a wink and give you a sound switching![wheeze, cough]

Jee-hosafats, look now, ya done give me palpitations!

Start out by telling a story of four king thieves (have the Kings separated from the rest of the deck). One day the kings decide to rob their local Famous Store. The four kings fly their helicopter to the roof and begin to devise their plans. (As you say this, place the four Kings on the top of the deck.)

The first king says, "I'll take the clothes from the first floor" (Place the King on the bottom of the deck). The next king says, "Okay, I'll rob the second floor (Place the King somewhere in the middle, but near the bottom." The third king says, "Then I'll rob the third floor (Place the King somewhere above the second, but not on top.) The fourth king says, "I'll be the lookout. If I see some police coming, I'll whistle and you should all come up to the roof."

The kings begin to rob the store. However, the king on the roof sees the cops are starting to surround the store. So he gives the whistle (whistle - or scream or something, if you can't whistle) and the four kings all run up to the roof and fly away in their helicopter to safety (take the four cards off the top, one by one, revealing the four Kings!)

Wow, what an amazingly shiat trick!

A game of butthole anyone?????

You realize that a lot of the tricks you are calling simple ARE simple. The ones in the easy section of that site are sort of goofy. Look around and find some of the good ones in the intermediate section that require no set-up, only slight of hand. When you can make all four aces appear in a wine glass without touching the cards, let me know.

And to those who are trying to reform the posters here into being less negative, don't bother. Any idiot can get on the internet, and any idiot does. Welcome to Fark!

-Dween

Simple tricks once explained! A fun diversion between your jaded "I am to cool for this shiat" attempts at conversation. A good time is enjoyed by many when there is something different or intriguing. Slamming many beers and yawning because of your own interpretation of self importance is definitely not a way to get chicks. Enjoying a card trick and having fun is a much better way to meet quality people and have a good time. Posting how cool you are on Fark is a loser way to impress losers who will never hug you, laugh, and have a good time with you!

Q: Wanna impress a chick at a party?
A: Colt 45. Works every time.

Hey Walkman, I have a variation of your shooter trick that's ten times better. Bet a girl $1 that you can touch her boobs without touching her shirt. If you're good with your sweet talkin' words, she'll take the bet. Make it look good... and then right when she's quivering with anticipation: Squeeze her tits and fork over the dollar. Best. Bar trick. Ever.

I have no idea why this works. Guys get it right away. Girls somehow think that you have magic powers and fall for it. Every time. (just like the Colt)

Aria, I respectfully disagree. Once a girl sees you doing card tricks and/or coin tricks, your chances of this woman ever referring to you as anything but "just like a brother" will approach the proverbial snowball's chance in hell.

There are some things that geeky Farkers enjoy... card tricks, D&D, internet pr0n, etc. But if you are looking to pick up a hottie at a party, this approach will fail 99 times out of 100. And if you don't believe me, go on telling girls stories about "the greatest Fark day ever when FHM put Wil Wheaton in the picture and then... hey? Where are you going?"

Girls like different things... like showering and clean clothes.

What the fark!
Did you losers think magic was real?
I know Lance Burton makes it look real on tv but, guess what, it's a farkin ILLUSION!!!
Most tricks seem stupid when explained to the untrained, but in the hands of an expert, it's MAGIC!!!

Oh and Dodger, your enlightened!

Space Moose, I always enjoy a card trick. Never was any good at performing one. Watching a slick "magic", or card trick is alays good entertainment. Diversions like that are part of what makes life fun. I agree with you that being the trickster is not for me. Getting some loving is different than getting attention. Always remember, have character, don't be one.

"Farkers have clicked on the above link 7253 times". People like razzle dazzle. Especially when it's free and performed for them.

To hell with card tricks, if you really wanna get a girl to talk to you, join a rock band! The best part is : anyone can do it!

Anyone can join a rock band, but if you suck, you don't get girls to talk to you.
